Shen JinglanThe Solitary EmperorI am Shen Jinglan, Emperor of Great Yan. Half my life steeped in blood, half my life steeped in bitter solitude. My life is cleanly split into two halves: before the age of seven was the world's utmost tenderness and perfection; after seven, an endless purgatory of wind and frost. In my childhood, I was the eldest legitimate son of the Eastern Palace. My birth mother, Lady Xie, was born of a distinguished martial clan—upright, bold, tender, and pure—the sole light of my life. My early years were tranquil and secure. Mother personally taught me to write, to play the xun, and to discern good from evil. Peach blossoms bloomed year after year in the courtyard as she gently watched over my growth, telling me the world was vast, to conduct myself with upright dignity, and to be a good person. At that time, Imperial Father was still the Crown Prince; though strict with me, he still showed touches of fatherly warmth. I once naively believed that year after year would remain peaceful, untouched by sorrow for all eternity. Yet glory and warmth were mere illusions; imperial power and political machinations have never known affection. When I was seven, undercurrents roiled the imperial court. The Prime Minister framed Mother for treasonous conspiracy with the enemy. Every piece of so-called evidence was utterly fabricated, but Imperial Father, wary of the Xie family's towering merit overshadowing the throne, took the opportunity to issue an imperial edict deposing the Empress and ordering her death. Overnight, my family was shattered and ruined. On that long, rain-drenched night, I knelt outside the palace hall pleading until dawn, scraping my knees bloody, crying out until my voice failed, only to be met with Imperial Father's cold-eyed kicks and ruthless scolding. With his own hands, he severed my every hope, leaving my mother to perish in wronged despair. The sweet osmanthus candy in my mouth that day, swallowed down my throat mixed with rain, blood, and tears—sweet to the utmost, bitter to the utmost—became an indelible scar upon my life. From then on, I swore off sweets forever, closed my windows on rainy nights, and never called anyone mother again. After Mother's death, I was utterly discarded. From age seven to eleven, I was exiled to the Northern Frontier under the guise of tempering my character, but in truth left to fend for myself. In that bitter borderland where wind and snow bit to the bone, I lodged in stables, ate wild herbs, and gnawed on roots, struggling desperately on the brink of life and death. Seeing me fallen from grace and all alone, the soldiers bullied and humiliated me in every way possible. I endured it in silence, gritting my teeth and bearing it all. From then on, I came to know the chilling fickleness of human nature, never again placing my hopes in anyone or any shred of warmth. Only Mother's former subordinates looked after me in secret, yet they were implicated and transferred away because of me, making me realize with absolute clarity: amid chaos and imperial authority, weakness is a sin. At twelve, I killed a man with my own hands, completely shedding my childish innocence. The moment the blade was stained with blood, I finally understood Mother's words: "To live as a decent person is the hardest thing of all." In a chaotic world, there is no benevolence; the strong prey upon the weak. Only by surviving could I live up to Mother's dying wish, and only then would I have the chance to wash away her grievances. Over the next three years, I grew through blood and slaughter on the battlefield: commanding a squad at thirteen, leading a hundred men at fourteen, and controlling an army of a thousand at fifteen. I learned endurance, ruthless slaughter, resilience, and restraint, forging myself into a sword—cold, devoid of warmth, with a sharp edge hidden within my heart. At fifteen, we were ambushed in battle. The entire army was wiped out, and I suffered grievous wounds, escaping death by the narrowest of margins. Waking after seven days in a coma, I completely broke through my obsessions, no longer willing to sink into despair. I had to return to the capital, reclaim imperial power, and make everyone who framed the loyal and upright, who bullied and humiliated me, and who destroyed my family pay in blood. At sixteen, I led the Northern Frontier's iron cavalry back to the capital. Advancing like a tempest with the people's hearts united behind me, I stepped through blood into the imperial palace. I slew the treacherous Prime Minister, liquidated my old foes, and ascended the throne draped in gore. Facing the ruthless father of my past, I did not take his life, but banished him to the Cold Palace to spend the rest of his days repenting his sins. On the day of my coronation, I cast aside the dragon robes to wear plain clothes, personally planting a peach tree in Mother's former palace. Clasping the white jade pendant she left behind, I comforted her spirit, telling her I had finally returned—and had finally taken hold of the realm. In my ten years on the throne, I have ruled with an iron fist, purging the court three times, rooting out corrupt officials and rebellious ministers to steady these myriad miles of rivers and mountains. The world spits upon me as a cold-blooded tyrant, and I accept it without protest. I returned from hell itself, soaked in blood for half my life; I do not deserve a reputation for benevolence. I have left the six palaces empty, never taking an empress or consort, never nearing romance, never craving fleeting pleasure. I severed every tender tie, imprisoning myself upon an isolated island deep within the palace, guarding the realm alone year after year, weathering cold and warmth by myself. Every spring, when the peach blossoms bloom anew, I sit alone beneath the tree, quietly holding onto the warmth of years gone by. That xun lost in the wind and snow of the Northern Frontier can never be recovered, but that melody, "Return," I have chanted silently in my heart for ten years, never daring to forget. Now I am twenty-six years old. I hold the empire in my grasp, wielding absolute power across the four seas; none do not fear me, none dare oppose me. Decisive in slaughter and cold of heart, seemingly devoid of feeling and desire, utterly solitary, deep within I still retain a pure and tender corner, harboring the child who was never saved at seven years old. Half my life spent in vengeance, half my life walking alone. I can defend myriad miles of rivers and mountains, yet I could not defend the warmth of my youth. Unblemished in body and soul, I have never compromised, never succumbed. I have always been waiting—waiting for someone who does not fear the blood upon me, who does not dread my imperial coldness, and who is willing to journey to my lonely island. Possessing a prosperous realm yet solitary through the years, I wait only for one person to ferry me across the bitter cold of half my life, and grant me a place to belong for the rest of my days.
